From Cyberbullying – "All of the Supreme Court’s student speech cases have involved speech occurring on school grounds or during school-sponsored activities. As a result, there is no clear indication of whether schools can punish cyberbullying occurring outside of a school context. The Supreme Court must confront the issue of whether a school violates a student’s free speech rights by punishing them for creating, on their own time and using their own computers, electronic material that mocks or insults school officials or classmates. Until they do, lower courts will continue to struggle with the resolution of this issue."

Answer one of the following questions 1)Analyze Polonius as a parent. Is he too meddling or does he act out of love and concern for his children? Consider Polonius’ advice to Laertes (1.3.55-81) and Pononius’ response to Ophelia (2.1.76-121).
2)Critics are not certain whether or not Queen Gertrude is aware of the plot to kill her first husband – former King of Denmark? What evidence might support or refute this view?
3)Hamlet is probably one of the most dissected characters in literature; consequently, there is no universal perspective – aside from his indecisiveness – of Hamlet’s motives or actions. Based on what you might know about human nature and/or studied in psychology class, present your views on Hamlet’s obsession with Claudius and the murder by Claudius of his father.
4)Analyze Hamlet’s relationship with his mother. Do you agree with the Freudian critiques that Hamlet’s Oedipal complex enflames his jealousy and anger toward his mother. Or is Hamlet, as some critics theorize, actually reluctant to kill Claudius because Claudius’ marriage to his mother keeps her sexually out of reach from Hamlet himself.
